- Ditch the flavors
Sodium intake is crucial to maintain fluid balance in the body but excess sodium is related to obesity. Major source of sodium in our diet is salt. Routine cooked meals provide us with sufficient sodium (salt), hence we must avoid packaged foods which are high in sodium.
When plain salted chips are compared with masala or flavoured chips, a prominent difference is the sodium content. Flavoured chips contain double the amount of sodium.
Though both are chips, flavoured chips contain far too many ingredients as compared to plain chips. More the ingredients, more the processing. Both the above aspects can be easily avoided.
Hence, it's better to ditch the flavours, and enjoy chips as is. If required, you can sprinkle some home masala to flavour the chips.
- High in Fat
Calories in a food come from carbohydrates, protein and fat. The above product however has more calories from fat, which is not desirable and thus is considered “high in fat”.
So think again before you go binging on it, as every gram of fat matters!
- Know your Food - Flavouring SubstancesFlavouring Substances are added to Food products either to regain the flavour it would have lost during processing e.g. juices or to add a new desired flavour e.g. in case of biscuits, vanilla flavour may be added to otherwise food product without any flavour.Based on the resemblance of the flavouring substance to its natural occurrence, it is classified as natural, nature identical or artificial flavouring substance. Read this blog to find more about different flavouring substances.
- Serving size matters
Food in itself is neither too good nor too bad, its the amount you eat that decides the effect.
Same with packaged foods. A creamy,fried or sugary product may be rated as fairly good. The goodness is when eaten in the prescribed amounts and not in amounts you wish.
The keyword here is serving size. When foods are eaten as per recommended portions, you are at a balance.
Serving sizes help you indulge, enjoy the food product and yet not harm you.
